Bennett Jones LLP stands out for its broad industry coverage and market-shaping mandates, particularly on the contentious front. Arguably best known for its activity in energy and natural resources-related issues, in line with its firm-wide strength, the team also routinely handles matters in the transport, infrastructure, real estate and manufacturing spheres, among other areas. The department is led by Toronto-based environmental law veteran Leonard Griffiths, who is considered by many as a market leader. The team further draws on Toronto’s Sarah Gilbert, whose practice spans environmental and health and safety law; and Calgary-based Shawn Munro, who specializes in energy-related environmental law matters. Brad Gilmour and Radha Curpen left the firm in 2024.
